Everyone has a different body shape and size. Try to understand your motivation for wanting to change your weight / height. For example, is it because of pressure from or comments made by your friends? Are you struggling with low self esteem?

If you want to gain or loose weight, it is important to still eat a healthy range of food, and continue with regular physical exercise. You might also like to speak with a food specialist, sometimes called a Nutritionist, and they will help you develop a safe eating plan.

Your height depends on your genes which are physical, emotional and behavioral things or characteristics that are passed down from your parents to you when you were conceived. You can’t control your genes as they are your own human biology.

Sometimes certain clothes or shoes may help you appear shorter or taller, slimmer or wider. Try to find clothes that work for your body type and stand proud no matter what height or size you are.

Stress is a part of life. It is a normal reaction to emotional, intellectual or physical activities. It can be positive if it keeps us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. However, it can also be negative if it becomes extreme as it can increase the chances of depression and other problems.

Here are some tips to help you manage stress:

• Keep a positive attitude.
• Accept that there are events that you can’t control.
• Share your feelings, opinions, or beliefs instead of becoming angry or quiet.
• Learn and practice relaxation techniques. Try deep breathing or listening to relaxing music.
• Exercise regularly. Your body can fight stress better when it’s fit.
• Eat a healthy range of foods.
• Learn to manage your time effectively. Keeping a calendar of important dates to stay organized can help.
• Make time for leisure, hobbies and interests.
• Get enough rest and sleep. Your body needs time to recover from stressful events.
• Don’t rely on alcohol, drugs, or food to reduce stress. Try not to drink too much coffee either.
• Find social and emotional support. Spend enough time with friends and family who understand what you are going through.

First, it’s good to understand more about HIV / AIDS. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV damages the body’s immune system (the body’s way of fighting sickness) and can lead to AIDS which stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, so it can’t fight off infections. HIV can lead to AIDS, which is known as the ‘late stage HIV’. Here the body is no longer able to fight off sickness. People who have AIDS can become very sick from an illness that the body would usually be able to fight itself.

You can get HIV from having unprotected sex (not wearing a condom) with someone who has the virus. HIV can be passed from one person to another through blood, semen (including pre-ejaculatory fluid) and vaginal fluids. It’s most commonly transmitted through unprotected vaginal or anal sex, but can also be caught through sharing sex toys or needles and other injecting equipment. It’s much less common for HIV to be transmitted through oral sex, but there is a greater risk if someone with HIV ejaculates in your mouth, and you have ulcerated or bleeding gums.

HIV cannot be passed on through everyday social contact. That means you cannot get HIV from shaking hands, kissing or hugging, using other people’s cutlery or cups, eating food prepared by someone who is HIV positive, sharing towels, sitting on toilet seats, or going to the swimming pool.

HIV can be passed on through heterosexual (straight) or homosexual (gay and lesbian) sex. Although men who have sex with men are most at risk of getting HIV, and women who only have sex with other women are the least at risk, it is a myth that you can only catch HIV from gay sex.

There is no cure for HIV or AIDS at the moment, although there are medications that help to control symptoms.
